Is there any relation between this bank and Van der Hoop Bankiers? User:Krator (t c) 17:08, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Yes there is a relation, but just in the sense that Adriaan van der Hoop, who left a large legacy to the city of Amsterdam (now the basis voor some of the top pieces in the art collection of the Rijksmuseum) was a distant relation of the founder of this bank. The van der Hoops and the Hopes were also related in the 1700's, but by the time of Adriaan van der Hoop he was a second cousin once removed from Henry Hope. Jane (talk) 08:44, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
